Watch this video for a short overview of the SDK or watch this longer video to learn about the IBM Collaboration Solutions application development strategy. Watch this video to lean how to get started with Quick Start Image (QSI).

IBM provides a Playground where developers can run code snippets using the JavaScript APIs of the SDK against test environments in the cloud. Watch this video to understand how to use the Playground.

To use the SDK in your applications, download and install the SDK from OpenNTF as follows depending on your platform:

Developers can use the SDK in different IBM Connections test environments as follows:

IBM Collaboration QuickStart - There is an image in the IBM Connections Cloud that comes with IBM Connections and IBMDomino® pre-installed and pre-configured. As a developer, you get full access to the image.

IBM Greenhouse - Everyone can register for free accounts to try IBM Connections. Developers can program against this environment using their accounts and basic authentication but no custom gadgets can be deployed.

On-Premises: IBM Connections and IBMDomino can be downloaded via the IBM Passport Advantage Online website. Read these slides for step-by-step instructions on how to install IBM Connections. IBM business partners can also download an IBM Connections image.
